Did you know? The production of the lithium-ion batteries that electric vehicles use emits 1.43 times more CO2 than the production of internal-combustion engines!
Also, the electricity you need to charge an EV is generated by burning coal, which is terrible for the environment.
These two facts tell us that many people believe that electric cars are better for the environment, when they are in fact much worse than fuel-injected cars.
Electric cars run on electricity. You ‘refuel’ them by plugging them into a charger just like a phone.
Fuel-injected cars run off gasoline or petrol. You refuel them by refilling the tank with petrol.
I’ve always liked engine cars more because of how they look, the sounds the engines make, and the number of modifications you can make to them.
To start with, fuel cars just look so much better. Take the example above. It’s my dad’s 1974 CJ Chrysler and doesn’t look amazing? Look at the beautiful maroon-red exterior with a cream vinyl roof and chrome magnum rims and has a 360 small block V8 stroked to a 408 making about 500 horsepower. The sound is aggressive as hell and leaves your ears ringing!
Overall, I think fuel cars are better than electric cars because the community and the history behind them is so strong. Electric cars will never be as good. Ever.
And one more thing when producing an electric car they have to mine for lithium for the batteries, when mining for lithium there are all sorts of environmental headaches this includes toxic leaks which is bad for peoples health and they are using young children to mine the lithium which is abuse that these countries choose to ignore. Some of these children are as young as 7 years old and are exploited to do this and don’t understand how dangerous this is because they need the money.
